I love oil threads. Two questions I always ask myself:
1. Have I ever experienced an engine failure? Nope.
2. When I take my car for an oil change, do I obsess about what oil they use? Nope. And heck, my car is worth a lot more than my motorcycle.
There’s an old YouTube video of Charlie Boorman who filled the crankcase of a clapped-out Honda 50 Cub with used vegetable oil. The exhaust smelled like French fries but the bike ran just fine (don’t try this at home). He later chucked the bike off a three-story building. It landed in a heap but the engine started right up. Typical Honda.
